Persuasion

8 War

I've got it going
My mojo's on, still you can't get it on
You've seen it coming
It’s plain to see we can’t go on like this anymore

We're not opponents
If you yield it's my gain
If I don't yield it's your loss
It's your loss
It's your loss

I've got it going
My mojo's on, still you can't get it on
You've seen it coming
It’s plain to see we can’t go on like this anymore

We're not opponents
If you yield it's my gain
If I don't yield it's your loss
It's your loss
It's your loss

Seesaw
Wake up now
Stop before you break it, stop before you break it
Seesaw
Wake up now
I’m stopping it, stopping is now
Come on
Wake up now
I’m stopping this stopping this stopping this old tug of war


7 Budapest

The river boosts me
With newfound confidence
All of its streets carry my name 
The river boosts me
With newfound confidence 
All of its sunsets are mine 

The river boosts me
With newfound confidence
All of the streets carry my name 
The river boosts me
With newfound confidence 
All of its sunsets are mine 

I lost my heart at a Danube bank
I lost my soul at a Danube bank
I lost my mind at a Danube bank
That’s where I lost it
I lost my mind at a Danube bank
I lost my soul at a Danube bank
I lost my mind at a Danube bank
That’s where I lost it
That’s where I lost it
That’s where I lost it

6 The Harbor

I own this city
My views on it are so particular
So utterly mine
Doesn't matter if it's not reciprocal
I don't need recognition of any sort

As long as I can have my ways in the harbor
I can’t smell the wind here like in any other place
I own this - I own this - I own it all
I own this - I own this - I own it all

I own this city
My views on it are so particular
So utterly mine
Doesn't matter if it's not reciprocal
I don't need recognition of any sort

As long as I can have my ways in the harbor
I can’t smell the wind here like in any other place
I own this - I own this - I own it all
I own this - I own this - I own it all


The Harbor

5 Stargazer

When I see the signs
They remind me of the first time I led you to hide
When I see the light
It reminds me of our last gaze at the southern sky

Stargazer - Stargazer - Stargazer

Downpour at the countryside
Soaking wet we ran careless and free
We knew nothing but our confines
We knew no world but that inside our minds

When I see the signs
They remind me of the first time I led you to hide
Stargazer - Stargazer - Stargazer

Stargazer - Stargazer - Stargazer

The southern sky - The southern sky - The southern sky - The southern sky

Every time I leave you behind
I try not to guess what's on your mind
Every time I leave you behind
I try not to guess what's on your mind

You're left behind
I'm going blind

Every time I leave you behind
I try not to guess what's on your mind

Such diverse settings - such a nicer scenery

Try to move along - try to move along - try to move along and keep the pace
Try to move along - try to move along - try to move along and keep the pace

I keep to myself and stale thoughts I fumble
I keep to myself and acrid words I mumble

You tumble (down) - I crumble (now)
You're nimble and I'm numb
You tumble (down) - I crumble (now)
You're nimble and I'm numb

I keep to myself and stale thoughts I fumble
I keep to myself and acrid words I mumble
I keep to myself and stale thoughts I fumble
I keep to myself and acrid words I mumble

I'd rather disappear - You'd rather roll the dice - 
I'd rather fish a barrel than a pond
Your waters move too fast
I'd rather disappear - You'd rather roll the dice - 
I'd rather fish a barrel than a pond
Your waters move too fast

Tumble down

Afraid to Fly

I'm so afraid to fly
Afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to fly
Afraid to fly

I'm way in over my head
Over my head

I wish we could land before we take off
I wish we could sleep and see this through 
I wish we could land before we take off
I wish we could sleep and see this through 

I'm so afraid to fly
Afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to fly
Afraid to fly

I'm way in over my head
Over my head

I wish we could land before we take off
I wish we could sleep and see this through 
I wish we could land before we take off
I wish we could sleep and see this through 

I wish you could teletransport me
I wish you could teletransport me
I wish you could teletransport me
I wish you could teletransport me!

I'm so afraid to fly
Afraid to fly
I'm so afraid to fly
Afraid to fly

I'm way in over my head
Over my head

Tugboat

Small as I am 
I can still drag you along
But only so far
But only so far 

Let go of all resistance
And follow my lead
My strength lies in your acceptance
As soon as you dock, I will flee
And forever remember 
That together we were mighty
That together we were mighty

Small as I am 
I can still drag you along
But only so far
But only so far 

Let go of all resistance
And follow my lead
My strength lies in your acceptance
As soon as you dock, I will flee
And forever remember 
That together we were mighty
That together we were mighty

"Lautmusik orbita os ruidosos mundos do pós-punk 80 e do shoegaze 90, transitando entre a névoa do submundo musical e apostando em melodias soturnas, climas sufocantes e ambientações melancólicas pouco óbvias – mas sempre com muito punch e com uma carga pop nítida - o que surpreende em meio a um ambiente majoritariamente sombrio. Uma das melhores bandas do RS, Lautmusik se aproxima de Joy Division, My Bloody
Valentine, Cure, Mogwai e Jesus & Mary Chain, mas consegue manter identidade própria."

Danilo Fantinel, Blog Volume (RBS)

"Numa época em que astro de seriado pré-adolescente é chamado de indie, é sempre bom quando alguma banda vai à origem da coisa. O termo "indie" foi cunhado no Reino Unido no final dos anos 80. A Lautmusik resgata
essa época extremamente importante para a música: com um ótimo trabalho de guitarras e vocais, A Week of Mondays emula My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain e The Cure num EP de apenas quatro faixas. Podem ter certeza que o quinteto sabe o que faz. Em tempos em que tudo é milimetricamente calculado, honestidade é sempre bem-vinda.”

Carlos Guimarães, Rádio Ipanema FM (Programa SubPop) e Revista Noize

"Banda gaúcha de Porto Alegre formada em 2006, Lautmusik tem forte influência das inglesas dos anos 80: Echo & The Bunnymen, Gene Loves Jezebel, Joy Division, Inspiral Carpets, Smiths, Cure, Sioux e afins, porém com uma pitada de indie noventista como em Jigsaw, onde empola a veia guitar. E, o melhor: toda essa parede sonora sob a batuta do vocal doce e preciso de Alessandra."

Marco Lima (Repo Man), Portal RockPress

"Recebemos no escritório o EP da Lautmusik, “A Week Of Mondays“. Gravado em 2008, o disco tem quatro músicas e traz um ambiente sombrio que remete a The Jesus & Mary Chain, Sonic Youth e o pós-punk/guitar rock dos anos 80. Na escolha de nome, já é possível perceber a
intenção dos porto-alegrenses. Lautmusik, em alemão, significa literalmente “música alta”. E é isso que a Lautmusik faz: música alta e de ótima qualidade."

Gustavo Foster, Revista Noize

LAUTMUSIK ("música alta", em alemão) é uma banda formada no outono de 2006 em Porto Alegre, Brasil. Influenciada principalmente pelo pós-punk dos 80 e pelo guitar rock e shoegaze dos 90, sua música não se enquadra, porém, em nenhuma dessas categorias, já que pretende apenas refletir o gosto musical diversificado e as experiências de vida de seus integrantes.

O primeiro EP, Black Clouds With Silvers Linings, de 2007, foi gravado de forma independente em Porto Alegre, e lançado em Dezembro. Foi produzido pela banda e gravado nos estúdios K-9. A foto da capa é de Marina J.

O segundo EP, A Week Of Mondays, foi gravado no Estúdio 7 e lançado em julho de 2008; foi produzido pela banda e por Eduardo Suwa. A arte da capa é de Rodrigo Prati.
